Please excuse the naysayers. They don't live in Saginaw, haven't been in Saginaw in years or never lived in Saginaw.

They are toxic people who have nothing good to say about anything or anyone because they don't like what they see when they look in the mirror each morning so they have to criticize others to make themselves feel good.

I would have chosen two of your selections if I could have... the CMU development will add TONS to the area just as the expansion of the U of M campus in downtown Flint. I also really like the return of AT&T to the downtown area.

Both of those projects will be an instant infusion of new people into the area and they will have to be served with places to eat... then places to shop... then entertainment venues. But the toxic people posting in this forum will never see any of that just as they have not witnessed any of the current gains that have occurred downtown (or they have seen them and choose to ignore them so they can continue to spew venom).

Danny Boyle's creations aren't zombies. They aren't reanimated dead people but the living that have been infected by a virus that sends them into a rage.

George Romero detests those running zombies and his logic is fairly irrefutable... zombies are corpses with rotting muscles, tendons and ligaments. Participating in track and field doesn't work well under those conditions.

People who use and sell alcohol are not trying to pass it off as "medicine".

I fail to see why supporters of medical marijuana are opposed to making obtaining it as legitimate as possible. If there are people jut trying to find an easy way to score or others are only looking to make a fast buck... why wouldn't you want to get rid of them so that those who truly need it can get it without ridicule?? As it is the cancer patient is looked on as just another stoner who wants to get high and that is wrong.

Get rid of the quack prescribe-rs... get rid of the stoners who only want a legal way to get high... get rid of the dealers trying to make a quick buck posing as dispensaries. In their place create opportunities for MD's to prescribe to legitimate patients who can obtain what they need from legitimate sources. And no, I don't have the answers to how to accomplish some of those steps but they should be the starting point.

A lot of folks here are pointing the finger at slow drivers... the ones being passed. But I had an experience just this morning which made me think of another option. The passing vehicle may have instigated that response!

I was driving into work doing about 52 in a 50mph zone... two lane road. I had my cruise control set as there I have quite a long drive on this particular road when I see in my rearview a jeep approaching pretty quick. He parks himself right on my a$$ and stays there. He never attempted to pass just rode less than a car length off my rear bumper for almost 4 miles before we hit a light and he turned off. I can see how someone might want to retaliate by not letting the a-hole get by.

Would similar stereotypes be funny if it were blacks? Some people here obviously have no knowledge of history or the severity of oppression Irish immigrants had to endure in this country. Yes it is offensive.

How dare a band become successful! How dare media wish to play or even talk about them! How dare new fans be attracted! Don't they all realize that only those who have been "into them" since the beginning are worthy.

Nikalseyn is only trying to show how clever he is. Harry Potter was popular world wide before the movies came out. My kid devoured the Lord of the Rings books and insisted mom and dad read them too before we could see the movies.

Making blanket, generalized statements like that never puts the one making them in a good light.
